Build this Two-Story Home Yourself

Показать описание
This two-story home is perfect for anyone looking to build their own home. This home design is extremely cost effective since it fits narrow lots and is efficient to build. In this video we introduce this house design and dive into the costs to build as an owner builder, taking on the general contractor role.

Note: The costs discussed in this video were taken from national cost data. Local building codes, local building practices, lot conditions, and the local cost of living will affect your actual costs to build. The only way to obtain detailed, accurate cost data for your local area is to bid the project out to a minimum of three local companies per building activity. As mentioned in the video, the costs discussed in the video are for building the structure only. There will be other non-house related costs realized when building this home. The house plan provider did not provide the cost data for this video.

Never stop making these videos. I would love to see a video of on of these smaller homes build. Do you have anyone who has done your course that would do this?

Here in Northwest Ohio this is what building this yourself would cost ….

Lot/Land - $15k
Site prep/ foundation - $40k
Materials - $130k
Sub contractors- $50k est for HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing

So we’re around $240k if you GC and do most the work/labor yourself vs a house this size as a new spec house would easily be between $375-$400k

How do you make a materials list or where can you get them is it better to make one yourself or use a company if so do they give you everything I feel like this is a good video topic for one of your next videos

I'm trying to design 3bdrm, one of which is only a small office, and 2 bath under 1000sqft. I've come up with some spacious feeling unique designs so far. You really need to get creative though.

I don't know anywhere in America a basement can be built for $29K. I spent that on footers, stem walls and slab that I poured diy.

Nice, informative video. Thumbs up! I "hit" the "like" button. (y'all should too!) :)
Question, we plan to build a house when the interest rates come down and would love to have a second-floor laundry, but we are fearful of water leaks or other problems that might surface. Is there anything that could be done to prevent water problems or flooding with a second-floor laundry??

Be weary of Menards house plan kit which doesn't include basics just as windows, AC, furnace, water heater etc;. Note tiny print that says "Similar materials may be used as pictured"). Also note that THESE videos use the old 'wide angled lens' photography which makes EVERYTHING seem bigger (note the refrigerator looks like it's 4 feet wide). BTW, speaking of appliances, they are obviously not included.

Sitting around a dirty kitchen sink is never a good idea! Horrible design that I see much to often 🥺

I think the sink in the island is a bad idea. I never want to sit next to a sink, even if it’s clean. Sinks smell. A sink should Never be part of a gorgeous island plan.
